Froggy,

Thanks, ilovesprig!
I've heard some pretty good things about those areas including Pine Flat Lake, Eastman Lake and Hensley Lake. I'll probably start with Lake Success since it's closest. I just recently found out that much of the lands around the local lakes is either Forest, BLM or Army Corp of Engineer. I didn't even know that land is legal to hunt on.

These pheasants came from around Lake Success.....It did help knowing the owners of the Gill Ranch (north side of lake).....

Those are some nice birds!
Yeah, I actually got the Onxmap app about a month ago. What a great resource! Because of that app I'm finding a ton of land open to public hunting that I didn't even know existed. I just haven't had a chance to go and check any of it out yet.
Is it true that all national forest and BLM land is open to hunting no question?

Pretty much.....There can be closures for fire and rain (roads), but for the most part, they're always open.....Almost all CNF lands now require you must be in legal pursuit of game.....In other words, hunting.
ps.....Laws like being a 150 yds from occupied dwelling, out buildings, barns, etc. still apply to private property within the national forest or BLM.

It is my understanding that language "in pursuit of game " was added to eliminate the problem with target shooters taking stuff up to locations like Kitchen Creek (CNF) shooting it and leaving all the debris behind. Those Onxmap app looks great. I still use old school paper maps but I am not so good with the technology. I have a smart phone, but it has a dumb operator.
Plus target shooting during hunting season tends to scare away the game.
OK so this one gets me confused. What is your take. Road says private and is locked with a gate. Cattle fence around it. But... On x says its public. Is it worth the risk.
Lands get sold and leased all the time. I recently asked a warden about this exact issue he said call him and he will come out to see if it legit. If it is not legit he will get it sorted out. But in the mean time do not cross obvious stuff like this. So get a hold of a local warden and ask.
Trust me. When you call the warden on real questions like this, you end up with good information in return (it's like you are giving the warden some info and they give you other info in return - like a different access point).
